    Cheers GoW, welcome to the Forums.

    Nice to see some attention paid to the Hawker Hurricane. She was definitely the workhorse of the BoB.

    The Pacific Australian WWII marking always make me think someone started doing RAF markings and ran out of yellow & red paint. The red being omitted to avoid misidentification with the red Japanese meatball marking.

    Incidentally, I just added this little guy to our WW2F Emoticons: :air_HawkerHurricane:
